Cox is broke ass.

[SJ]

Well I guess with it coming to light that cox has indeed shut down international streaming

(lol canada isn't international you gigantic fucking faggots)

It's become painfully obvious to me that Cox is broke and will be tits up.

If you can't afford the bandwidth to operate a fucking internet stream, your days are numbered in radio.

Most of the people that are listening to your programming - are doing so on their phones and computers. Even half the people from this board that LIVE in florida, still listen online and not through computer.

You want more evidence they're going broke? How come they didn't re-sign a certain someone that I don't want to drag into this.


Here's some more food for thought. You can't block us from facebook and you can't stop us from speaking our minds all over your social media. Expect us.


I also encourage everyone to turn off their FM radios and turn on their streams, what are they going to do? Block America?

you see that?

Cox is ranked in the top ten for internet streams

or should I say WAS

you can kiss that number good now cause it doesn't account for international listeners vs local

it only counts totals and you guys just fucked yourself up the ass

[Hamlegs Harold]

from what Drew said they stopped the international streaming because of the music licensing. 97x and their other music stations probably are the cause

[Chob]

I wonder how much revenue the online ads bring in.

[Hamlegs Harold]

i'm guessing The Bone is tied into the same streaming account that the music stations are

[Chob]

I will say this though. The royalties for online radio are fucking obscene and are way higher than for other mediums, like FM radio, that get cut a break.

no one listens to FM for music anymore just shut those stations down - no one cares.

Isn't one run by a fucking robot anyways? How pathetic is that?

another sign they're broke

they run it all off the same platform... like the player is the same pretty much for all the stations..

that link you posted? just change the call letters and it loads that stations stream instead.

However - there's still ways to allow the talk to still go international. Just move it off that platform and run it stand alone if you have to. Done.

There's only excuses for this, but no real reason.

[Chob]

I have to, once again, humbly apologize to SJ. Silly me thinking they were being upfront with their staff and listeners.

[Ace]

I never thought I'd say this but I agree 1000% with SJ, they're shooting themselves in the foot with this. I've been saying it since I started listen to the bone in 2010, why aren't the streaming numbers counted in the ratings? This is 20motherfucking13, people don't get in there cars to listen to a goddamn radio show and I don't know of anybody personally whom
Listens to say Bubba on a classic radio. Majority listen on their mobile device as I do. Quite frankly, Cox looks like it'll be one of those stations we talk about and say, " remember Real, Raw, Radio?", much like the Powerpig and 98rock. Shitty.
